Phoole and the Gang

Back at the dawn of Phoole & the Gang in 2013, my wife Tiffany and I were in a grocery store that happened to have one of those toy-crane novelty machines - we call them 'claw machines' or 'grabby machines.' Players put in a coin or two, or a dollar most likely these days, and maneuver a crane 'claw' into position; when the machine's brief timer elapses after a few seconds, the claw drops down and either grabs a prize, or doesn't, and then retracts. If it grabs a prize, it drops the prize down a chute for the player to keep.

Tiffany happens to be a stone-cold grabby-machine hustler - she wins every time she plays. And on this particular occasion, we discovered this particular grabby machine had in it a very weird prize we'd never seen before: SANTA BACON. It was a stuffed-toy piece of bacon, with arms and legs and eyes and a moustache, and a Santa Claus hat. It made no sense at all. I wanted it. Tiff played and won it immediately, on the first try.

As I gloatingly paraded it about the grocery store, Tiff said, "You now have to do a parody of 'Santa Baby,' but rewrite the lyrics so they're all about Santa Bacon instead." We re-wrote the lyrics together, Skeewiff kindly and indulgently supplied an incredible, perfect instrumental - and a crispy, delicious legend was born!

Phoole pronounces Masayoshi Takanaka correctly, spins 2 hours of dancey joys, and requests that billionaires back the campaign at patreon.com/phoole. Angelo the Cat gives up the bellicle floofs (the most highly coveted of floofs) but then turns around and chomps Santa Bacon! Oh the felinity! Even Tiffany’s got bacon on her mind lately. ‘Tis the season! Finally the show rounds out with funky breaks versions of nostalgic TV-show themes, Wiffs galore, and a heart-exploding Beach Boys cover. CAN YOU DIG IT?

It’s The Stupid Show! It’s Phoole & the Gang Show #250, and ‘250’ in Mandarin Chinese slang means ‘stupid,’ so Phoole serves up stupid fun times. Somewhat sweary - be forewarned, workers and prudes! Some of the tunes have the word ‘stupid’ or synonyms involved, or even antonyms; some of the tunes are just stupid fun, often while simultaneously being rather complex. Sacha and Mike Wall join Phooligans from everywhere, and there’s moves and wacked-out visuals and MUPPETS even. Here’s to 250 more - thank you Phooligans!

We celebrate the birthday of Urban Love Ulcer a/k/a Pete Howard! Pete answers the Birthday Questions and weathers a lot of absurd tune dedications from the PhooleOut Shelter crew. Phoole confesses a dark obsession with ‘Fix Your Accent,’ but how can you not? Angelo the Cat loves his hottie-mat, and Tony the Cat makes a rare (and somewhat aromatic) cameo. Phoole tweets indiscriminately. Did you know ‘toxic’ is the Oxford English Dictionary’s Word of the Year for 2018? You shortly shall. Finally, the strength of love amongst Music Friends is conclusively demonstrated, even in the face of mortality.

Phooligans request upbeat moving tunes to fortify the PhooleOut Shelter against an uncertain world, and they’re right on in their selections - thank you Phooligans! The word Phoole’s looking for that’s between a dialect and an idiolect is a sociolect. Now we know! There’s another Phooleoween preview for a Strange Interlude. And when Phoole says you’re her heroes, she doesn’t say it lightly. Thank you for being in the Phooliverse!

Phoole is maxxed out. She finally, finally has too much going on. Phoole & the Gang could be a full-time job - but she’s got, like, six full-time jobs, and it’s finally getting to her. But she still pulls out the jams, and the Phooligans’ love powers her through two hours of disco-funky-licious joy! Get to know the other parts of the Phooliverse - click all around http://phoole.com and get ready for her forthcoming new projects, including an audiobook of her first published book and, if you can imagine, still more! She’s got to figure out how to manipulate time to get all of it in and still survive. Fortunately, this show is a good soundtrack for a groove-a-thon for getting things DONE.
